Chapter 340 Artificial Reef
The above are all properties on the island, and he picked up his two properties in Pinghai County to look at them.

The first thing he checked was the ornamental fish breeding base, which he had never managed since it was built, and Wu Qian (the robot) was in charge of it.

Seeing the income from the breeding base, he was not surprised.

Nearly 6 months after opening, the breeding base has made a total profit of 125 million.
The 125 million is only the income sent to Deng Kai and some fish shops. The income of Deng Kai Fish Shop in Shangjing is not included here.

The last thing he looked at was the industry he was most concerned about, which was the garbage disposal plant.

As for the garbage disposal plant since its establishment, he has only been there once.

That's because he wanted to see the percentage of points after garbage turned into energy blocks.

Since then, he has only occasionally called Jia Yi, who is in charge of the production there.

It's not that Ye Yuan is not in a hurry to get points, but that the garbage disposal plant is really not as good as he imagined.

One meal of the garbage elastic production line, the final garbage energy block is only the size of a washbasin, and this energy is only 800 points when converted into points.

After learning about garbage collection and credit ratios, he lost interest in it, but since he has done it, let's do it.

To be honest, the funds invested by the waste treatment plant, the points he wanted and the points he wanted were far from what he expected.

Even the broken jade obtained with the same funds is more cost-effective than this garbage disposal plant.

But he knows the rules, but he can't stop using it after it's built, right?

This is not only related to his personal points, but also related to his cousin's work, and the appearance of the entire Pinghai County.

Think of it as making some contribution to Pinghai County, Ye Yuan comforted himself in this way, he didn't care about the operating cost anyway.

Ye Yuan also asked the system about the disproportionate ratio of garbage disposal.

The answer given by the system is that the garbage itself contains various impurities, and the assembly line also loses most of the energy while processing the energy blocks to maintain the purity of the energy.

After getting this answer, Ye Yuan was also speechless.

After reading the reports at hand, it was already late at night. Looking at the stars in the sky, I got up and took Rhubarb to the reef beach.

. . . . . .

In the early morning, the fishing ground of Yuwan Island is in the northern waters.

It is a little far away from Yuwan Island. Although it is still within the waters of Yuwan Island, we don't have any fish farming here.

It's because it's really special here. First, it's because of its underwater environment. The seabed here is very empty, and the fish schools are basically passers-by. It is difficult for fish schools to stay in this sea area for a long time.

Because the seabed here is flat, nearby trawlers like to come here to fish.

It is not because of the abundance of fish resources here, but because the breakage rate of fishing nets is very low when fishing here.

The reason why the damage rate is low is that this seabed is basically a piece of sea sand.

There are hardly any reefs of any kind, so there is very little damage to the nets.

Even if Ye Yuan has already contracted this sea area, there will still be fishermen from nearby sneaking here to steal fish.

Regarding the development of this sea area, Ye Yuan also invited experts from Blue Island and Professor Su's research institute to come up with a solution.

In the end, both sides agreed that a large number of artificial fish reefs need to be placed here before the status quo can be changed.

An artificial reef is a man-made underwater structure.

Artificial reefs are usually constructed to promote the growth of marine life in open seabed areas, control erosion, block the passage of ships, and avoid the use of trawls.

Many artificial reefs are constructed from objects constructed for other purposes, such as discarded fishing boats, tires, cement stones, or construction debris.

Other artificial reefs are purpose-built (such as reef balls) from PVC or concrete.

Regardless of construction method, artificial reefs typically provide algae and invertebrates such as barnacles, corals, and oysters for attachment.

Hard surfaces, the accumulation of attached marine organisms, in turn provide complex structures and food for fish aggregations.

The use of artificial reefs has existed since ancient times.At that time, the construction of artificial reefs was mainly due to sea wars.

At that time, the Persians built artificial reefs to block the mouth of the Tigris River to defeat Indian pirates.
During the First Punic War, the Romans built a reef in the Sicilian port of Carthage to trap enemy ships and help drive the Carthaginians off the island.

The use of artificial dead corners for fish farming originated in Japan in the 17th century, when people began to use artificial reefs to increase fish production or carry out algae farming.

Gravel and rocks were used to grow kelp back then.

The first artificial reefs on record in the US were in the 19s, when hut logs from the South Carolina coast were used to improve fishing.

Beginning in the 19s, U.S. fishermen used staggered logs to build artificial reefs.

In modern times, debris such as old refrigerators, shopping carts, abandoned cars, and out-of-service vending machines have replaced logs in the makeshift reef.

Officially sanctioned items include decommissioned ships, subway vehicles, battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, oil rigs and honeycomb reef balls.

In 2018, the Maldives introduced the world's largest 3D printed artificial reef, aimed at protecting coral reefs from climate change and warming oceans.

Another biggest feature of artificial reefs is that they will concentrate fish in one place, which is easier to catch.

So Ye Yuan and the others started to transform this sea area 3 months ago, planning to put a lot of artificial reefs in this sea area.

The reason why Ye Yuan came here today is to observe the changes in this sea area in the past few months.

Swim in the seabed of this sea area.

Those "reefs" that were released before, covered by some shellfish and seaweed, have become biological paradises one by one, where various fish live.

Not only some common fish in some fishing grounds, but also some fish that have never been seen before are occasionally seen.

For example, just now, Ye Yuan saw 3 wraith fish, which are the largest coral fish in the world.

He is iron blue all over, with protruding lips and raised forehead, much like the arhat fish among aquarium fish.

Ye Yuan smiled when he saw a few giant sapphires, which was a pleasant surprise.

Although there are toxins in the Sumei fish, if you eat the Sumei fish that has not been cleaned of the toxins, you will be poisoned, but the Sumei fish has been named for its delicious meat for a long time.

The quantity of this thing is extremely rare, so its price has always remained high. The lips of a Su Meiyu can be sold for thousands of yuan.

Because of this, the eyebrow fish has always been poached, and as far as Ye Yuan has heard, it has already become extinct in many areas.

So this thing has been included in the "IUCN Red Book" endangered species in 2004
